Making Manna Rain

Romano Bean Fritters with Chosen Foods

This is definitely an ideal Superbowl snack. What a great way to eat beans and peas. This recipe I found in a Canadian magazine this summer while hiking around Cape Breton. The original features a creamy slaw made of mayo, avocados and red cabbage. It seemed a natural substitute (and much easier) to simply use the mayonnaise that was gifted to me by Chosen Foods this winter. What an incredible sauce. My mother always said that hunger is the best sauce–well, she might need to try this.

Romano Bean Fritters

Adapted from Chatelaine Magazine

1/4 cup mayonnaise—I used Chosen Foods Harissa flavored Mayo

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup water

3 tbsp Chosen Foods avocado oil

1 egg

1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed

1 cup French beans, drained and rinsed and chopped into one-inch pieces

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Scoop 4 2-tbsp fritters into pan. Cook until fritters are golden brown and cooked through, about 2 min per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with another tbsp of oil and remaining batter. Serve warm, dip in mayo. YummMM!
